WVM Families,
If you have not completed the online federal form in Parent Portal yet, a paper copy is being sent home with your student today. It is important that these get filled out and returned to the school ASAP. Thanks and have a great day.
Happy Thursday!
Love the teachers at WVM? Show them your appreciation by donating a pie to the school beginning tomorrow until we leave for Thanksgiving Break. You can drop your pie off in the front office for WVM teachers to brighten their day! Please feel free to call the school with any questions.

Students in Ms. Willis' math classes spent their time on an M&M's and ratios lab yesterday. Students had to sort, tally, create ratios, and then find a friend with equivalent ratios. Of course, the best part - they got to eat their creations afterwards!

No internet, no problem! Students in Ms. Holland's science class weren't phased by a lack of technology when they built lunar landers today. Students learned about Newton's three laws and constructed a craft on a shoe-string budget that would deliver their marbles (astronauts) safely back to Earth. Tomorrow will be the big test to see if students lose their marbles!
